According to Daily Trust reports, a Minna High Court yesterday sentenced Mr. Samuel Emmanuel to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour and N15, 000 fine for raping a seven year old girl in Sauka Kahuta area of the Minna metropolis. The accused was said to have committed the crime on September 9, 2010.
Justice Fati Abubakar convicted the accused person after pronouncing him guilty of the offence which is punishable under section 283 of the penal code, saying the man is a “dangerous person who must be kept
away to protect venerable children”.
“Such anti-social act must be punished for it to serve as deterrent to others; if we are to protect and maintain social order and moral value”, she said.
Thank you Judge and please increase the number of years such people will spend behind bars next time, these kind of people deserve to be locked up for life (my opinion)
